MONTEREY PARK >> Donations poured in to help a Monterey Park police dog that was seriously injured after bees stung her about 100 times.

Just a day after the Monterey Park Police Officers’ Association set up a GoFundMe account for Robin the Belgian Malinois, people donated $18,926 which exceeded the goal of $10,000. The union isn’t accepting anymore donations.

“We can’t thank them enough,” association president Officer Gabriel Escarsega said. “I am overwhelmed by the generosity. The support of the community is unbelievable.”

He said Robin’s platelet count is low but the 3-year-old Belgian Malinois is getting better. Robin has worked for the police department for four months.

Capt. Eugene Harris said the dog is in guarded condition at a hospital. She is still undergoing treatment.

Robin got injured Saturday while helping officers find two burglary suspects. Police ended up arresting three suspects for the residential burglary in the 100 block of East El Repetto Drive.

Two K-9 units helped search for the suspects. Police said one of the teams disturbed a bee hive.

Robin located one of the suspects. As she and her handler searched for another suspect, a swarm of bees attacked them, according to the police union.

The officer was treated at the scene and Robin got treated by a local veterinarian.

Robin became extremely lethargic and was taken to an emergency veterinarian facility the next night, police said. She was diagnosed with severe anaphylactic shock due to the bee venom. She had problems with her liver, kidneys, and lungs.

“According to the vet, when stung that many times there’s a lot of issues. We’re hoping she pulls through,” Harris said.

Harris said the city is paying for the dog’s treatment but the Monterey Park Police Officers’ Association wanted to help off-set the cost to the city and set up the GoFundMe account.

Escarsega said the department’s three dogs are on the front lines with the officers.
